The Albion River is a small, 15 mile long river in Mendocino County, California that drains about 43 square miles on the Mendocino Coast and empties into the Pacific Ocean near the town of Albion, California. There is a large estuary at the mouth of the river and tidal waters travel up to 5 miles upstream. Alboin River Bridge crosses the river at the estuary and is the best place to have a look at the majestic river mouth. There is a marina and an RV park underneath the bridge.
The name Albion, the ancient name for Britain, was originally applied to a land grant in 1884, and later extended to the river.
